When asked if she was worried about finding a boyfriend, she replied: 'I am a little bit. But if any of the boys decline me because of my situation then I just know they’re not right for me at all.'

Hitting puberty: Jazz Jennings who was born a male but identifies as a girl has said she is attracted to boys

Jazz said as a toddler he knew she wanted to be a girl and would unsnap her onsies to make it look like a dress. If people called her a 'good boy' she would correct them, saying she was a good girl.

Her parents first decided to seek advice from a pediatrician when she was two years old, after she asked: 'Mommy, when's the good fairy going to come with her magic wand and change, you know, my genitalia?'

Demand for weddings and C-sections soar as brides and moms-to-be attempt to take advantage of last triple digit date for 100 years

Three years later after being diagnosed with GID Jazz made the transition from male to female.

She grew her hair out, pierced her ears, and wore dresses everywhere - even to kindergarten.

Born in the wrong body: Jazz said that ever since she was a toddler she wanted to be a girl

Her parents explained the situation to their three other children. Jazz's father, Greg, previously told http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3088298&page=1" rel="nofollow - : 'Jeanette and I are in 100 percent agreement as to how we should raise Jazz. We don't encourage, we support. And we just keep listening to what she tells us.'

Her mother Jeanette added: 'We'll say things like, 'You're special. God made you special.' Because there aren't very many little girls out there that have a penis.'

'Ever since I was younger I had nightmares about growing facial hair and having hair all over my body'

Growing up Jazz's bedroom was filled with girly things - pink bed linen, a closet filled with dresses and an ample collection of stuffed animals.

Set to turn 13 next year she says one of her biggest fears now is puberty.

Jazz previously told the Advocate: 'Ever since I was younger I had nightmares about growing facial hair and having hair all over my body.

'Now that the time has come where this situation might occur, I'm getting nervous and desperate to take hormones to prevent puberty from happening.'

In order to prevent Jazz's nightmare from becoming a reality, she will undergo hormone therapy.

Jazz's mother Jeanette, said: 'I mourn the loss of the idea of my son. I see pictures and the video, and that child's gone. But there's a wonderful person now that's with us.'

First doctors will prescribe blockers that will prevent the growth of body hair and the development of other masculine characteristics.

Next estrogen therapy will allow her body to go through a form of female puberty. She will grow breasts and gain body fat around her hips.

But the treatments are expensive and last year Jeanette revealed that she was quoted $18,000 a year for the hormone-blocking medication.

The final step would be sex reassignment surgery, but most doctors will not perform this until the age of consent, 18.

Source of support: Jazz's parents Jeanette and Greg took her to see doctors when she was a toddler

The Jennings say that if Jazz chooses to take that step, they will fully support her but they are also mindful of keeping all of her options open.

While they now fully accept their son as their daughter, they admit the transition has not been easy.

Jeanette, who started the TransKids Purple Rainbow Foundation to help other families in similar situations, said: 'I mourn the loss of the idea of my son. I see pictures and the video, and that child's gone. But there's a wonderful person now that's with us.'

This June Jazz was awarded the Colin Higgins Youth Courage Award for helping to educate and enlighten others about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer experience.

I wasnt aware that a two year old can comprehend the differences between genders to full capacity. I know plenty of moms who have stories about their little boys wanting to wear their heels or play with a purse or dolls and they say that for most it is just a phase. Most of these little boys grow up to be very much masculine and have no feminine traits. So as parents when we see these phases can they be altered by how much we tolerate at these times. Like if a baby says I am not a good boy I'm a good girl....do we just say Oh okay yes you are. Or do we correct them?

I know a transgendered person born a boy and now identifies as a woman. However her parents saw this phase and embraced it because they felt it was just a phase, however it just never stopped. Do you think parenting has a role in these matters?

Parenting has nothing to do with it.

I don't believe in forcing a person to be someone or something they are NOT. If that is truly how they feel on the inside, nothing about parenting is going to change that... In fact if they had not embraced it, it is a possibility it could have caused more damage...

Honestly, I truly didn't understand this concept until I met and got to know several transgender people myself.

I dont think ur average parent would know how to handle the situation until they're in it. The whole ideal of "not in my house" sounds good until your faced with it on a daily basis. Ignoring it wont make it go away. I think the best way to address is through counseling(solo,with the parents and for the parents solo as well) so they all can understand their feelings and how to address it. In some cases parents are to lax and the child grows up faster than they need to because their "different". There should still be guidance there as well as support. If I were in that position my child wouldnt be getting any kind of hormone shots before the age of 16/17 and they wouldnt be having any type of cosmetic/gender reassignment surgery until theyre an adult.

and those norms weren't always like that. pink wasn't always considered a "girl's color" either in america...I don't think it happened until around the 40s or 50s w/ the baby boomers. before that, a lot of children's clothes were pretty gender neutral. not sure how it is in other countries.

idk how one feels female either. feeling female vs what? I am not male, have never been male, will never be male so how would i know how that feels? And gender roles are socially constructed, so idk im beginning to think its a load of crock...

1.wanting to do things more greatly associated with the western female population =/= feeling like a woman, for gender roles vary throughout the world.

2.If it is the chemicals in your brain that are "telling" you you are of the opposite gender you were born then perhaps this should be associated with mental illness...there are plenty of things that the chemicals in your brain can tell you to do.

3.As far as hating the genitalia with which you were born, there are mental illnesses where people hate various different parts of their own bodies and would prefer to have them cut off/removed.

5. most children dont feel one way or another about having certain genitals, i know i wasnt proud to have a vagina at 5, people are only given pride about things when they are praised and only hate them when they've been conditioned to believe that they are wrong/bad....

sorry about the titan graph and i hope it makes some sense cuz i just woke up

as with other mental illness medication/therapy can help but do you think it can in this case?

i.e the boy looks happier as a girl though.

For me i don't know what i would do though. As an African, i feel these are first world problems, don't see many African parents running around with this dilemma.

You don't identify as female or male. You either are or you aren't. You can enjoy the aspects of being female ie painted nails, dresses, and heels, but you are no more female than I am white. You are who you are. People teach their children to be proud of themselve or their colors or talents everyday, this has no difference to me. "Female standards" are social and have to be taught. No one comes out thinking they were born to wear a dress, because it's just not part of your psyche as a child, someone or something has to condition them toward that conclusion.

I wasnt aware that a two year old can comprehend the differences between genders to full capacity. I know plenty of moms who have stories about their little boys wanting to wear their heels or play with a purse or dolls and they say that for most it is just a phase. Most of these little boys grow up to be very much masculine and have no feminine traits. So as parents when we see these phases can they be altered by how much we tolerate at these times. Like if a baby says I am not a good boy I'm a good girl....do we just say Oh okay yes you are. Or do we correct them?

I know a transgendered person born a boy and now identifies as a woman. However her parents saw this phase and embraced it because they felt it was just a phase, however it just never stopped. Do you think parenting has a role in these matters?

This. When I was a toddler, I know I was NOT unsnapping my onesies for them to look like dresses. And at two years old he asked when his "genitalia" would be changed? I'm not buying all that sh*t. I think there is a fine line between encouraging, and supporting.

how does one "feel white?"

what they're walking around feeling privileged?

When I got out of my speeding ticket years ago at night in a hick southern town, I felt lily white. I looked back on the event like 'this is the privilege I've been missing out on? Wow!'
